Spritz Cookies – Just Because

Are you looking for a little instant ease when it comes to kids home for summer vacation? I totally get you. Check out the Summer Survival Guide . It's chock-full of great ideas to organize your summer and enjoy great times with yours kids.

The Christmas cookies are long gone, but that doesn’t mean my girl and I don’t still love baking together. This weekend we used a mix, something I’ve never done before.

Betty Crocker sent me a sugar cookie mix and it was fun to try it out. While it didn’t have spritz cookie directions on the package, we did it anyway — and they were so fun.

I love Spritz cookies! My aunt makes them every year for Christmas which is the only time I ever get to eat them. She was even nice enough to make them for my bridal shower in the heat of August so many years ago.
I’ve always wanted to make them but never knew if I could. It never occured to me that I could use a cookie mix! I’m going to have to try to find my cookie press and try this out.
Maybe for my birthday this weekend!

Traditional Chocolate Chip are my favortie. I love to make a big batch of dough, flash freeze it in balls and keep in freezer so I can pop one (or more) in the toaster oven for a warm cookie whenever we want!

my favourite cookie depends on the time of year. Shortbreads at Christmas time, Snickerdoodles and chocolate chip anytime, but if I am sentimental and missing my mum who lives the other side of the country, I miss a cookie called Molasses Jumbles. She made them all the time for me when I was a kid!!

An oldie but a goodie: Favorite Cookie is always the chocolate chip. But this would be a great package because my 7 yr old has been begging to use her M&M cookie cutter’s we got from M&M world in Vegas a while back! They look like the M&M characters! Maybe we’ll even decorate with some M&M’s! Thanks so much for the give-away!

Well, I don’t know if this is a scientific method. But, this is what I did. I pulsed the mix and hard butter (whatever it said on the package) in the food processor until there were crumbs, like pie crust. This is basically because I was too lazy to wait for the butter to soften. Then I added the egg and whirled it until it was dough. Then I mushed it into the press.

Yum!!! I use the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix all the time, but morph it into something else. Our favorite is snickerdoodles. We mix the dough as usual, roll in cinnamon sugar before baking. Awesome!

Thanks so much for participating in this conversation about "a mom's life."

This is a place where moms can be themselves. Remember that each mother's path looks a little different. Please keep your comments respectful and kind. Reasonable minds will disagree in a nice way.

So let's talk about it, using "our big girl words."
